I'm aware that in some cases platform_driver_probe is better.  But as I
don't have access to most of the affected platforms I consider it saver.
That's why I choosed this way.  The problem with platform_driver_probe
is that if a device is added only after the driver is probed the
device isn't bound.

So if you say you can test it, it's totally OK for me to go the other
way.

Best regards
Uwe
